These brownish spots are a fungus. Dark, sweaty areas are most likely places for this problem. Everyone has fungus in their bodies.

What skin problem has large red circles on skin does not itch does not hurt and does not flake?

Bug biteThose circles could be from a bite from a certain bug that is common in areas with a lot of bushes, straws and tall grass. If this is the case, it is harmless in most cases, but it could leade to paralyzation of one or more limbs.

Check if those circles are symmetrical and each ring has a distinct border.

MY OPINIONI think you need to go to a good specialist for skin problems, to identify the cause of the emergence of the red spots. Maybe you need a good cream from skin problems, for example, I discovered that in the on-line pharmacy rxhealthdrugs.com Skin cap -the product for the treatment of psoriasis and other skin diseases for external use only. The active substance - zinc piritionat - has antimicrobial and anti fungal activity. There is a bacteriologist impedes reproduction of bacteria.may be, he can help you.
